• Always charge LiPo batteries with a charge current of max. 1C. This means
that the charge current must not exceed the capacity displayed on the battery
(e.g. battery capacity 1000mAh, max. charge current 1000mA = 1A).
• The discharge current must not exceed the value displayed on the battery.
For example, if a value of "20C" is printed on the battery, the max. discharge
current is 20 times the battery's capacity (e.g. battery capacity 1000mAh,
max. discharge current 20C = 20x 1000mA = 20A).
If these guidelines are not adhered to, the battery will overheat, which will
lead to the battery becoming deformed/swollen or result in an explosion and
fire!
The printed value (e.g. "20C") does not generally refer to the constant
current, but to the maximum current that the battery is capable of producing
in the short-term. The constant current should not be higher than one half of
the given value.
• None of the battery's cells should be discharged to below 3V - this will result
in the battery being destroyed.
If the model does not provide protection against total discharge or possess
a visual display indicating a low battery, remember to switch off the model in
time.
